general How do you hand out Halloween candy?

[Denim&Venöm 16,610]

When the costumed hordes come to your door, how do you dish out their just rewards?

[jackfettgames 50]

At the door, two at a time, keep the extras.

It's enjoyable.

I put it in a pile in the yard... tell the lot of them there is cash hidden in the pile, and then watch the ensuing chaos.

Pile of candy = $70

Watching costumed kids go lord of the flies = Priceless

I've always wanted to sit outside with a bowl and a "Take 1" sign, wearing a costume that suggests I am a decoration, then freak out the ones who take a bunch...

I hand out pictures of the Halloween candy that could have been, but which I had already eaten.

[SparklingSwirls 21,263]

I don't live in a neighborhood with any young kids, so since I don't get any trick-or-treaters, I don't pass out candy. 

Guess I can't vote then

My grandmother and sister pass out candy on our porch, while I attempt to scare people who approach.

Mostly I open the door and pass out candy. But, one year I sat outside wearing a “ghost face” costume ( you know the killer from the “scream” movies.) I sat really still in a chair on my front porch with a bowl of candy on my lap and scary music playing off a CD player. A group of teenagers dressed in costume walked up my steps as they inches closer to the bowl I stood up. One of the teenagers must have thought I was a decoration cause she screamed and almost stumbled off the front porch.

I've always waited for kids to knock, then I'd give them each a handful of candy and let them take two regular-sized candy bars each.

I don't trust people enough to just leave the bowl outside, unattended 

[Feather Spiral 1,892]

With my hands, duh.

I would actually do it the traditional way, waiting inside for the hordes to knock and then give 1-2 each. I say "would" because we don't do Halloween in Turkey nor France, but if we did, that's how I would've done it.

Go for it!

In my old house we used to set a bowl out with a note that said "Take two", though one year some teenagers dumped the whole bowl into their pillow cases and ran off with all our candy. 

I live in the middle of nowhere now, so we haven't gotten a single trick-or-treater since we moved out here a few years ago.

I usually sit outside and pass the candy out myself. I want to be fair for everyone and (if I have leftovers), keep them for myself.

Used to dress up for Halloween but stopped doing that quite a while ago, I typically just buy a bunch of candy for myself these days.
